Chapter 77 Smart Grandpa
Martin’s face was very pale. When Draxton entered, Martin struggled to get up from the bed. Draxton said in a deep voice, “Lie down and don’t move.”
Martin looked at Draxton’s serious expression and finally lay down weakly. However, his eyes still followed Draxton closely.
other Draxton was also shocked. All of them knew very well how serious Martin’s injuries were. If it was any hospital or doctor, Martin would have ended up dead. However, he was really saved in Lotus Village. This was a life that was really taken back by force from the gates of hell.
Draxton figured that the Sanctum of Holy Doctors’s medical skills were really magical to an unimaginable
extent.
“Mr. Lockwood…” Martin said weakly as he looked at Draxton. Currently, he was only slightly weak from just waking up.
“The Star of Cold Light has been found. You saved my life. From now on, you’re free.”
Draxton looked at him and said calmly.
Martin’s eyes turned red. “Sir, are you kicking me out?”
Draxton shook his head and said seriously, “No, I’m not kicking you out. I just want to give you a chance to choose. You can choose any life you want. This is my compensation to you.”
Martin’s eyes lit up.
He
struggled to get up. That time, he did not listen to Draxton’s orders. He forcefully got up from the bed and knelt on the ground with a loud thump. He said extremely sincerely. “Mr. Lockwood, I can no longer follow you in the future!”
Draxton looked at him with an indescribable feeling in his heart. Since Martin had chosen to leave, since Draxton had said that he would let the man go, he would definitely keep his word.
Before he could speak, Martin continued, “Sir, please allow me to stay by Ms. Betty’s side and protect her. My life was saved by Ms. Betty and Mr. Falkona. My life will belong to Ms. Betty from now on. Beginning from this day, I will only be loyal to Ms. Betty. I will be loyal to her for the rest of my life and would rather die than change. Please agree to my request.
Draxton looked at him with a complicated expression.
“Since this is your choice, I have no objections. However, I have no say in regard to Betty. You have to seek her permission yourself.”
Draxton also had a headache. If Betty was just an ordinary child, he would agree on her behalf. However, when he thought of that child’s personality, Draxton felt both proud and helpless. He really did not dare to make her unhappy.
Martin’s eyes were filled with gratitude when he saw Draxton agree. From then on, his life was Betty’s. “Then recuperate well. We’ll talk about everything after you recover.”
Draxton gave him a complicated look, turned around, and walked out.
A month later.
Draxton, Betty, and Old Greg walked down the mountain with a large medicine basket on his back. Mr. Langley and Jocelyn stood at the entrance of the village and watched the three of them come down the mountain. Mr. Langley’s expression was cold as he said in disdain, “Why isn’t he leaving? How long has he been staying around here? That guy practically lives off of us here. How shameless. He’s the head of the Lockwood Group. Does he have nothing better to do?”
Jocelyn sneered. “Didn’t you see that although Betty has been teasing him a lot recently, the kid has already gotten very happy to get along with him?”
Mr. Langley snorted. “He does have his way, I’d admit. First, he captured Bella’s heart, made Bella marry him, and even took in Ricky. Now, he even wormed his way to Betty.”
Jocelyn sighed softly. “Bella is not someone who will suffer losses and do nothing about it. I’m not worried about this. The main thing is that the children need a father.”
Mr. Langley’s face darkened. After a while, he snorted and said, “Humph, it’s all because of the children. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him off so easily!”
In the past five years, Bella had been forced into a corner. It was only a given that they felt sorry for her.
After all, Bella was their beloved disciple. They did not have children of their own and treated her as their biological daughter.
The three of them walked over. Betty had already been cured and no longer had panda-like eyes. The little girl. was fair and tender like a cute porcelain doll.
At this moment, Betty had a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy to be around Draxton
Draxton placed the medicinal herbs in the designated place, carefully sorting and washing them before spreading them out to dry.
Betty watched from the side and felt that her annoying father was quite pleasing to the eye.
It had to be said that even when doing such things, Draxton still did it very calmly and elegantly. He did it in an orderly manner without a trace of disorder or embarrassment.
Betty was even more satisfied. She was all about looks. She found that annoying father to look quite good and behaved quite pleasingly as well.
She figured that he was barely passable as her mother’s mate.
She figured that long as her mother wanted the man, she and Ricky could call him daddy!
After Draxton finished his work, he looked up and saw Betty staring at him in a daze. He smiled dotingly and asked gently, “Little Queen Betty, have you thought about what daddy told you a few days ago about going back to Dawton City with me?”
Betty tilted her head and said proudly, “Is there a need to consider? Mommy and Ricky are there. Of course | have to go too.”
Draxton’s eyes immediately flashed with joy. He could not help but stretch out his long arm and scoop the little girl up. He turned around and raised her above his head.
Finally, Betty sat on Draxton’s shoulders. Draxton had a calm face and yet, his eyes were all smiles. He carried his daughter and walked around Lotus Village.
Silas and the subordinates from both the Executive Department and Department of War were currently looking at Draxton in a speechless manner. They wondered if that loving, doting father was actually that regal, unemotional chieftain of theirs.
Draxton carried Betty around. When he returned, he saw Jocelyn leaning against the village entrance with her arms crossed and looking at him with a faint smile.
The gentle expression on Draxton’s face became a little more solemn. He asked, “Master Grey, is there. something you’d need me for?”
Jocelyn narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the father and daughter. They looked too similar. Little Betty was riding on Draxton’s shoulders. Her chubby hands were grabbing Draxton’s hair. Two small pinches were sticking out of her hands. It hurt just looking at them.
Little Betty had a smile on her face. Her face was red and she looked exceptionally cute.
Jocelyn did not take Little Betty’s presence into consideration and said directly. “Seeing that you look so happy, it would seem that Betty has agreed to go back with you?”
Draxton nodded “Indeed.”
Jocelyn didn’t say anything about that. Instead, she said, “I’m here looking to work with you. I’m certain that you would know about the Clan Mobius.”
“Of course I know Clan Mobius is mysterious and powerful, strange and ruthless. Anyone would twitch hearing about them.”
Jocelyn said, “If I were to tell you that I have an irreconcilable feud with the Clan Mobius and that Bella is also the target of the Clan Mobius, what will you do?”
Draxton’s expression changed. Then, he calmed down and said, “Bella is my lover, family, and one of my own.”
Jocelyn smiled in satisfaction.
Betty grabbed Draxton’s hair and rode on Draxton’s shoulders. At first, she listened excitedly to Grandma Grey talk about cooperation with her father. Then, she yawned and fell asleep on her father’s head.
With Old Greg’s medicine, Martin’s injuries were almost healed. That day, he knelt in front of Betty and acknowledged her as his master.
Martin did not lie to Betty. He told Betty about his and Alan’s previous mistakes, and then asked for her forgiveness. Betty’s little face was puffed up with anger. She was obviously very angry, but in the end, she still accepted Martin.
